Method: count ZIP entries and read the parent theme’s style.css header without executing code. Bundled assets are not necessarily loaded on every page. File counts and archive size do not measure load speed, compatibility or security. Test your intended layout and plugins on staging before choosing a theme; compare performance only under the same hosting and cache settings.

The breakdown
Use a client handover as the decision test
For an agency project, ask the future editor to change a hero image, add a case study and adjust a mobile section. Bridge explicitly names Elementor and WPBakery compatibility in its retrieved highlights. If your agency already uses one of those workflows, confirm that the exact demo and required components support it.
Salient advertises visual front-end and back-end editing options. Evaluate that workflow with the same tasks rather than assuming it is easier because the demo looks more polished. Keep the content and acceptance criteria consistent between candidates.
What would change the decision?
A required integration or an existing client page library can be more important than the size of the demo collection. Demo counts quoted by sellers may describe different kinds of assets; do not treat a complete site and an individual template as equivalent units.
If WooCommerce is required, extend the brief to product, cart and checkout pages. Neither the product title nor a marketplace rating proves compatibility with the current versions of your extensions. We have not measured runtime performance or support response time for this comparison.
The verdict
Put Bridge first on the shortlist when its advertised builder compatibility matches an existing agency workflow. Evaluate Salient when its editing approach fits the client. Use a realistic handover task to decide.
No single winner — it depends on who you are
